## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest you evaluate them:
> 
> **1. Sendible** - My default recommendation for most agencies. It was built for agency workflows rather than retrofitted: branded client dashboards, client portals where clients approve content without needing a seat, white-label reports, and custom domain support on higher plans. Pricing scales by client profile rather than punishing you for adding team members. The integration set is mature (including Canva, Google Drive, Dropbox).
> 
> **2. Agorapulse** - The best choice if a meaningful part of your retainer is community management, not just publishing. Its unified social inbox and moderation tooling are stronger than most competitors', and it has genuinely useful ROI reporting that ties social activity to conversions - which is the hardest thing to show a client at renewal time. Branded PDF exports with your logo.
> 
> **3. Sprout Social** - What I'd name if you're serving mid-market or enterprise clients who expect depth. 100+ metrics, custom report builder, competitive benchmarking, sentiment analysis, social listening, and CRM integrations. The honest caveat: it's priced per seat and it's expens
